G.I. Joe Six Inch Figures

[Swindle]

Oh and it turns out trained rats to deal with landmines are a real thing, the more you know, yo joe!

[Swindle]

I do want to mention... the group Yo Joe Emily had everyone do at the end of the panel was mega cringe.

If the Vamp sells well... the flood gates will open, Vamp Mark II, Stinger, Thunder Machine at the very least.

The blonde Hawk lovers will have to wait for a v1 w/Missile System that will surely be made.

Techno-Viper may have the small head problem Snow Serpents have. Hard to tell.

GIJoe is VERY outgunned at the moment when you look at how things stand.

They made Tripwire cool. Good job Hasbro. I liked him as a kid. One of the few figures without a weapon...I think he had a sidearm, but whatever.

[Felix]

[Swindle]

I agree. Tripwire is the kind of upgrade that can push a character up a notch.

On Hiss Tank, pointed out, Clutch being Jewish, very unlikely he'd have tattoos.

[Bravo]

They are really pumping out characters now, good for fans, bad for their wallets. But I wonder if this won't burn the line out within a couple of years due to the casual fans whose interest tapers off after 1986 or 1987...
1982, They got more original 13 to make. Cobras are done besides other media like blue Baroness and Dr. Venom.
1983 is getting close to complete. Got Doc and Ace left, a few repaints.
1984, only carded guy left is Blowtorch. The rest are drivers. Hooded CC might not get made.
1985, All carded Cobras are made or announced. That leaves Lamprey from Cobra. A few more carded Joes and all the Joe drivers, plus orange Tripwire we know they'll do that.
1986, has the most left of the early years. Cross Country seems unlikely.
1987, they've made headway into the Joes, the villains mostly unmade so far...Croc Master and the upcoming Techno-Viper
The Fridge could...well, who knows?
1988, hardly touched it...but this is more into later years.
1989, Only the subteams and Alley-Viper thus far.
1990, Ditto, just Range Viper so far.
1991, Just Big Ben, right?
1992, Storm Shadow and Nunchuck is all so far.
1993, Would they go that far? Duke, yeah...the rest? Actually, I could see a take on Ninja Force Snake-Eyes and Zartan.
1994, IF they could do SEAL Shipwreck with minimal new tooling they might.

[Swindle]

Yeah, there's a price out factor when there's too much product. Marvel for example is a line you don't have to be a buy them all kind of person in as its doubtful you care about all sections of Marvel. GIJoe is a whole different animal.

Hooded CC is banned is my understanding, but there are options out there on the 3D printing market to get a head if you need one.

1987: Battle Armor Cobra Commander will likely get priority. Psyche Out and Sneak Peak probably have priority because they are also Night Force. Big Lob will probably get made, it was mentioned at the con Jinx leans heavily into her animated look according to posts on the Hiss Stank.

1988: Joe Storm Shadow is likely going to be made at some point. Destro w/Despoiler they can sell at the same price point as Serpentor. So, if you want the other Night Force repaints, you need Charbroil, Lightfoot, Muskrat, Repeater, Spearhead and Max.

1989: All the character molds exist now to do the other Slaughter's Mad Marauders. But I doubt they pay for what it'd take to do Sarge in those colors. Shockwave will be there to do his Night Force version.

1990: I feel like Gridiron and Metal Head, for better or for worse, make the biggest imprint from this year and likely get made quicker than others.

[Bravo]

I disagree on Gridiron. Ambush or Salvo will the first 1990 JOE in classified, if only because they can reuse more body parts than Grid-Iron (Salvo's leg ammo belts would be separate pieces). Metal-Head or Night Creeper the next Cobra ( i keep thinking they made Night Creeper, but that was just some Snake-Eyes kiddie toy version).

Have they annouced Road Pig or Iron Grenadier. They are given.

Two Marvel figures I wouldn't skip are female SHIELD and Hydra agents.


Makes almost regret selling that Spidergirl figure I got years ago at a yard sale.
I'm kidding I can't get into six inch.

[Bravo]

TF Flint still a raccoon. It's stupid. If they wanted something different, they could've included that weird scarf they added to the TF card art.




Vypra looks better without the silly mask, but at least it's an option. I just now realize she reuses Zarana arms.

[Swindle]

They called her Vypra because people are less likely a skip a 'named' character than just a ninja troop repaint.

[Bravo]

Any relations to the 1998 Vypra or the twin sister Vypras? Does anyone really care? How many ninjas does Cobra need?

[Swindle]

There is a bit of lore if you read the description:
"Vypra allegedly offered her services to Cobra Commander as a mercenary and intelligence courier by audaciously sneaking into his private business meeting at Extensive Enterprises. Intrigued by her boldness he brought her aboard."

Chuckles goes up on the 28th. There will be a period for Hasbro Pulse members first then general public.

[Felix]

He should have face paint like Jorge "Poncho" Ramirez from Predator.







But poor paint application choices aside,

Flints head sits too high above his shoulders.

Vypra, meh.   Not bad without the skull face, but I still prefer the original 1998 look.

All I see is a store clerk telling customers that they have to wear a mask to come in and shop.

[Bravo]

6 inch Space Cobra Commander....well not really, it's a 4 Horseman Cosmic Legions alternate head.

[Bravo]

Who? Nah, really? WHO DA FUDGE IS THIS GUY?
